Art and Haiku

Here it is! Finally! We finished our art. It is looks beautiful. The students are so proud. I took them out into the hall and we sat and looked at our art work we just yelled out words that it made us think of or feel. We came up with many. We took the word into the room and made a Haiku together. We learnt that a Haiku is a poem that follows a specific pattern. It is a three line poem. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables, and the third has 5 syllables. The students caught on right away. We tried words and sentences and if they didn't work we tried again.

 Our first attempt was:

 Creepy Haunted Forest 

 I like spider trees 

 The sun goes down. Dark! Spooky! 

 Ghosts come out at night! 

 Our Second attempt was: 

 Sundown 

I like spider trees 

Stars come out when ghosts come out 

I like spooky trees 

We broke off into small groups. Each group lead by an adult created their own Haiku.

Group One: Anun, Harmony, Shyla, L.J., Micheal, Jaiden created: 

Spooky trees at dusk 

Ghosts are scary in the night 

I like vampires 

Group Two: Jordan, Maikah, Enzo, Tyrell, Sophia created: 

Slender man no face 

He lives in a dark forest 

He scares all the kids 

Group Three: Vy, Kevin, Noah, Nevaeh created: 

I love ghost branches 

Spider-webs in the sunset 

A monster's here. Boo! 

After all this practise we made our own. They turned out great! Come and check them out on our bulletin board.
